The Judgment at Christ’s Coming
5 This is evidence of the righteous judgment of God and is intended to make you worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are also suffering.(A) 6 For it is indeed just of God to repay with affliction those who afflict you 7 and to give relief to the afflicted as well as to us, when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels(B) 8 in a fiery flame, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.(C) 9 These will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, separated from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might,(D) 10 when he comes to be glorified by his saints and to be marveled at on that day among all who have believed, because our testimony to you was believed.

2 Thessalonians 1:5-10
New Living Translation
5 And God will use this persecution to show his justice and to make you worthy of his Kingdom, for which you are suffering. 6 In his justice he will pay back those who persecute you.
7 And God will provide rest for you who are being persecuted and also for us when the Lord Jesus appears from heaven. He will come with his mighty angels, 8 in flaming fire, bringing judgment on those who don’t know God and on those who refuse to obey the Good News of our Lord Jesus. 9 They will be punished with eternal destruction, forever separated from the Lord and from his glorious power. 10 When he comes on that day, he will receive glory from his holy people—praise from all who believe. And this includes you, for you believed what we told you about him.

5 All this is evidence(A) that God’s judgment is right, and as a result you will be counted worthy(B) of the kingdom of God, for which you are suffering. 6 God is just:(C) He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you(D) 7 and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven(E) in blazing fire(F) with his powerful angels.(G) 8 He will punish(H) those who do not know God(I) and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.(J) 9 They will be punished with everlasting destruction(K) and shut out from the presence of the Lord(L) and from the glory of his might(M) 10 on the day(N) he comes to be glorified(O) in his holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed. This includes you, because you believed our testimony to you.(P)
